Best Answer

The unique souNd is caused by the reed and the material of which the Clarinet is made. This is why a wooden clarinet sounds nicer and tends to resonate more than a plastic one and that is why all professional clarinetists use wooden not plastic clarinets.

How to transpose from violin to clarinet in b flat?

If you are playing violin music on a clarinet, you have to transpose up one step (a major 2nd). In other words, if you see a C, you play a D. If you are playing clarinet music on a violin, it's the opposite. You transpose down a step.

Is the violin or clarinet harder to play?

Well it depends. In clarinet, you have to blow to get your musical notes. In violin, you have to just move your bow across a string. I would probably say a clarinet is harder. You have to blow and waste your breath!A second Opinion...Well, realistically I would say violin is harder because in clarinet the notes are all there for you. In violin you have to find the notes by ear and shift the position when the music says to. Plus, most violin players do the vibrato. You also have to hold the violin near the shoulder or on it. Clarinet you just have to hold it with hands which is much easier. The violin is also deemed the hardest instrument to play.I disagree. When you play the violin, all you have to do is move your hands. When you play clarinet you have to, controll embachure, cover the holes, and maintain good air. So clarinet is hands down harder.
